Aka the best parts of swe imo

With boot strapping at least you can de risk with consulting/freelancing. And I think with the new generation of software development tools it’s much easier to validate the core business problems without grinding out code for weeks on end.

I’m sure you also give out raisins and sugar free mints at Halloween too.

I might get this with ui/styling experimentation. But shouldn’t devs have an idea of what they’re building - the specific building blocks, logical, and data flows - before you prompt? I couldn’t imagine getting three different one shot attempts at an implementation and having to validate and read through each one.

You’re on the mark - this is the real challenge in software development. Not building software, but building software that actually accomplished the business objective. Unless of course you’re just coding for other reasons besides profit.

How much of this zeitgeist is fueled by Elon’s ketamine dependency issues? Certainly non zero!

Gotta keep that cash flowing! Society be damned.

This is performance - the human brain doesn’t work like this.

Typing syntax and dealing with language issues takes a lot of mental overhead that AI mostly solves in the right hands. It’s not zero!

I’m sure it’s great.

As a layman there’s no way I’m running something called “Pop!_OS” versus Mac OS.

Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC EVO 4g, Motorola Droid.

I used to do all kinds of things…tether to my laptop without it being supported in my data plan, torrent, etc.

I also got tired of the platform skins depending on the manufacturer.

If I’m not going to utilize the customization of Android, then I might as well go with the more consistent and refined experience out of the box.

Also iMessage! Hate to say it but my social group is primarily iOS so the experience is superior.

I used Android for many years. I got to the point where I didn’t care about or want to customize my phone anymore.

I was tired of my Android phone feeling like it was falling apart after a year.

I have enough things to think about, troubleshoot, and tinker with…I don’t need my phone to add to that list.

The worst externalities of AI (mass social disinformation/manipulation) were already realized years ago with the Facebook algorithmic feed. Producing content wasn’t the limiting factor; AI-enabled algorithmic targeting to maximize ad revenue without any consideration for negative externalities has already eroded civil society.

There’s a reason “Zuck” needs to spend millions on security va someone like Cook…

If you have money saved up and you’re willing to take on some (relative) risk, then getting out of a situation where you’re burned out is probably best. Long term burnout can cause serious health issues which could affect your ability to find work, but also to do a good job in whichever is your next opportunity.

This looks like a yarn ball (in not a good way)

Agree on the usefulness of models. They still require a lot of babysitting for software development. We’re seeing marginal improvements, but the aggregate utility still adds up over time. Am just skeptical of OpenAI at this point for most things.

They can call it whatever they want…not sure that has a great deal of meaning unless there’s a GPT-4/Claude 3.5 level step change.

Agreed. Trying to live in a high level of abstraction without understanding the components of the system will cause the project to fail after a certain point.

Get one of the max plans! It pays for itself.

I was getting this with claude (sonnet) 3.7

Restarting the editor worked! Can also try restarting the computer.

I’ve had problems with my feed for the last few days. Only showing the same content exclusively people I follow. I use web and tried the app and the same thing, thinking it was a browser issue.

Huh? What’s your point?

HN with the quality security advice, with all the recommendations to rotate config vars just to be safe.

Hit it right on the head.

I have a react native app published as part of our SaaS software suite. I don’t think users notice or even care if things feel marginally non-native.

I’d agree optimizing user experience by developing in native code might be important if you have a game or social media app where the worth of your company is directly correlated with your app install metrics.

Do you have any anecdotes or data that illustrates that users will be “confused” or “insulted” by non native apps?

Ya except Mill Valley and Sausalito in Marin county both experienced blackouts during the most recent shut down. Both of those cities being rather wealthy.

You have a source for this?

Seems to me that having a physiological pattern which forces you outside the normal rhythm of society could be detrimental to one’s mental health (pure conjecture).

Thank you for mentioning this.
